I've obviously got the voice I've got and the accent I've got and it fits and it was funny.
I just thought it was quite funny and just sort of had a bit of banter around it and things like that.
I think people who know me and have played with me can have a bit of fun as well.
It never bothered me too much.
You ran your contract down at City.
Well, it's an interesting phrase of words, me running down my contract, because it wasn't really like that.
I had two years left and I was looking to stay at the club.
I mean, why would you want to leave?
And time went on and one contract didn't come and then eventually a contract came and
It was effectively a pay cut and things like that.
Then you start questioning, am I going to play here?
Am I going to be a part of it?
In the end, the club offered something which was probably at the time when I'd made my mind up was right at the end, whereas the mindset originally was to stay.
Nothing ever changed in terms of what I gave for Man City and I always give my best.
It was just how the negotiations went at that point and the process with the club.
He got to a point where he was like, well, I might be better off going here.
That's what ended up happening.
There was no hard feelings between me and the club.
I had some great talks with Calderon at the end.
It was tough to leave, it was a tough decision.
